SO you still like to hear Jagger bellow about sex but can't listen to the Eagles and tequila sunrise? Different strokes (Classic Stones is still great, IMO)
I think choosing the greatest band ever is very hard unless you define the criteria. Are we talking live perfromances? Beatles lose and Springsteen vaults very high. Are we tlakign recorded perfromances? Beatles leap back up and other groups like Steely Dan suddenly show well. SO it all depends on what we are talkign about. Eiother way, and I do admire Eddy's gyuitar work, Van Halen does not make my perosnla top 5 (and this is coming from a guy who was in a band that covered almost every song from their first two albums, so I know early VH pretty well).

I'm talking about Classic Stones. I haven't bought a Stones album since I was a teenager.
